Great way to see the city...

Gerrick_H, Sep 2025
Great way to see the city and get a workout at the same time. It’s nice seeing Paris in the morning when you have most of the attractions to yourself as well. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Run Run Tours – A Must-Do for runners in Paris!

JenniferCruz_C, Aug 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Run Run Tours – A Must-Do in Paris! I had such an incredible experience with Run Run Tours in Paris! The guide (and owner) was phenomenal—she’s an ultramarathoner, incredibly knowledgeable, and super patient. It ended up being just me and one other runner from NYC (who was so nice and fun to run with), so the tour felt really personal. We covered about 8 miles at a relaxed pace with plenty of stops at major sights. She shared deep, thoughtful history along the way—you can tell she teaches tourism and history because she knows so much. It was genuinely impressive. Highlights included visiting a sparkling water fountain, an empty Louvre, and Trocadéro at sunrise. She even filmed me running into the empty Louvre courtyard, which my friends now laugh at saying I “paid someone to video me”—technically true, but it was her idea and ended up being such a cool, memorable moment! I usually go for runs solo when I travel, but this was such a better way to explore. No fumbling with my phone, no guessing what I was looking at—just a smooth, fun, super informative run through one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And best of all? I saw so much before most of the city (and my family) was even awake!

Perfect Paris morning

Heather_H, May 2025
We completely enjoyed our morning run with Andrea. She took us to all the best sites to see in Paris, and had a wealth of knowledge to share with us. She took many great pictures of us to share with family and to remember this lovely vacation. 😍 Thank you Andrea for a great start to our day.

Amazing and unique tour experience

Melissa_A, Jan 2025
Andréa and I went out for an early morning running and she was a fantastic guide and host. She is truly a remarkable person and brought the history of the city to life. Thanks so much! Best of luck on your ultra in the Alps this year!!

Best way to see Paris!

Jackie_S, Aug 2024
What a wonderful way to see the city and learn about the history of Paris!! Andrea was fantastic and I would highly recommend this tour.

Miss not opportunity

Abhishek_K, Jul 2024
Stories from Anndrea. She is the best. I hsd a lot of fun during this tour, exercised a bit and learnt a lot about Paris.

Outstanding. Great time and Hamidou was amazing.

Ira_D, May 2024
Hamidou was great. Really made this an amazing experience. The mix of running and seeing the sights were perfect and he planned the tour based on what the runners wanted to experience.

Rainy Memorable Run

Tony_K, Dec 2023
We had an awesome adventure despite a rainy day. Hamadou was a great tour guide and we got to see so many beautiful places in Paris.

Great way to see the city!

Sarah_S, Apr 2023
Loved this tour and I’m so glad we did it. Hamidou was great - willing to go at the pace we needed (ages 18 and 50+). We saw all the major sights, got memorable photos, and learned the layout of the city in a much better way than taking a bus tour or the Metro.

An awesome way to experience Paris

Gary_B, Sep 2022
I had such an awesome time! What a way to start my birthday, get a nice run in and learn Paris history. Hamidou was kind and very knowledgeable! Im pleased and would do this again!
